[OpenAFS] Windows client questions...

Two questions about the windows openafs client:

1) Currently if a volume is busy the windows client will refuse access to
any files in that volume, and return an error to the application (which
will then give up).  This is in stark contrast to the Unix client which
will block the application until the volume is available again.  Is there
any way to make this happen with windows?

2) When mounting afs volumes as drive letters (as opposed to using a unc),
the drive shows up as having zero capacity (and consequently zero bytes
free).  This breaks things like installing applications etc... is there a
way to make it perform more like the unix client in this case as well by
faking disk space?

Thanks
